Followup from Yesterday

This is a follow-up to yesterday's posting where Tibor Stern, the President of F.A.C.T., spoke to Carl Woodham as a father. He tried to make sense to Woodham about family values, family strength, the importance of family coming before any religion. in a way a family is its own "religion" that is sacred and more important than any other beliefs or practices that one choses for their life. In other words, any belief and/or practice of a religion should never come between family and compromise the family unit. It should never tear a family apart (as in the case with James), only make it stronger.

We will continue our quest for change under Families Against Cult Teachings, Inc. (F.A.C.T.)

EXPOSE ON HARE KRISHNA - ISKCON - AND CHAPLAIN CARL WOODHAM AT THE UNIVERSITY OF FLORIDA IN GAINESVILLE

Dear Families and Supporters of F.A.C.T.,

I am writing to you today not as the president of F.A.C.T but as a father who knows the endless suffering of losing a child. There is a never ending trail of where I see my daughter missing; a painful void that can never be filled, which is something I wish no family to ever experience. Unfortunately however, our organization gets contacted over and over by parents who are losing their kids to high-control cult groups acting on college campuses everywhere just like on the University of Florida in Gainesville.

Before James [name has been changed to protect his identity] attended UF, he was part of a very happy, loving and close-knit family. While there, he was recruited by the Hare Krishna (ISKCON) organization headed by chaplain Carl Woodham, we believe whose corrupt influence and agenda has completely destroyed James’s past loving relationship with his family. They don’t speak anymore and they don’t even know their child’s whereabouts. Woodham claims that the reason James disconnected from his family was because he was scared of his father, which is so typical for all these deceiving and manipulating cult leaders.

Before my daughter met her evil teacher Katsura Kan (at the University of Naropa in Boulder, CO), we had the best relationship imaginable between parent and child: completely loving, caring and based on mutual trust and respect. But once she became exposed to Katsura’s influence and manipulation, suddenly I became the worst father imaginable. Such is the story with James’s family. Once James was exposed to Carl Woodham’s influence and manipulation, suddenly James’s father became the worst imaginable human being.

All these gurus have one thing in common: they turn their victims against their families and friends in order to isolate them for control and exploitation purposes, whether it be sexual, financial, slave labor, etc. Victims will start questioning and second-guessing all that they knew to be true to the point where they lose their critical thinking skills and identities. This makes them totally confused while the cult leader / group encourages them that it is all normal and part of the process towards enlightenment. This is what happened to my daughter in the past and it’s happening now with James. It must be stopped.

These sociopathic, narcissistic, self-serving high-control group leaders have no concern for the damage they cause and no boundaries when it comes to achieving their goals. Certainly they should be nowhere near our campuses going after vulnerable, impressionable youths. I sent my daughter away to a school where she should have been completely safe and instead she came back home in a casket. In the case of James, it seems he has become a part of the ISKCON slave labor force (which earns them millions in revenue every year), even though the Krishna gurus call them “volunteers”. What about James’s future? Apparently, that is not Carl Woodham’s concern as long as he can have a state of the art spa built into his home while James and like followers are encouraged not to live a materialistic existence.

When Carl Woodham makes statements in his emails like “…the young Westerners we are shedding blood to attract to Krishna” or “…we are finally having some success reaching young Westerners wholesale” and then we see parents’ losing their kids “wholesale” to cults all over college campuses, well it is not hard to put 2 + 2 together and know what is going on.

To all parents living in Florida, this is my University and your University as taxpayers and we should not sit idly by as our kids are being recruited on this campus and taken from us. Enough is enough. Please help stop this destruction by sharing this information to educate and protect other innocent students and families from being harmed.

Thank you,

Tibor Stern

THIS JUST IN.

Dear Mr. Stern,

It has come to my attention that the Hare Krishna faction has been permitted to actively recruit on the UF campus. I am appalled at the fact that campus administration would allow a manipulative cult to dictate the future of our children. Young students look to teachers and faculty to influence who they aspire to be and as parents we demand good role models. What message is the University of Florida sending by allowing a destructive group such as the Hare Krishna to corrupt the minds of our youth. (Civium in moribus rei publicae salus).

Sincerely,


[Name Has Been Removed]

WARNING: ALL LOVING PARENTS AND FAMILIES NEED TO READ THIS...

How would you feel if you sent your beloved child away to college and a religious group on campus there recruited, indoctrinated and convinced your child to turn completely against you?

This is exactly what happened recently to a student attending the University of Florida in Gainesville. A religious group there by the name of ISKCON, a.k.a. the Krishna House, is being led by Carl Woodham and are doing whatever they can to try and recruit students into their organization. They pass out informative flyers, offer an on campus inexpensive lunch, promote introductory lectures / programs and anything else they can do to introduce their organization to impressionable students— all with one real intention: recruitment.

Because of the Krisha House’s influence, the parents not only missed out on their own child’s graduation from UF (which was a very sad day for them that will linger in their memory forever), but worse, as of now they currently do not even know his whereabouts (yet suspect he is somewhere in India obviously under the direction and control of ISKCON).

In our opinion and as per some evidence which will be published tomorrow, Carl Woodham’s Krishna House at UF has succeeded completely in turning their once caring son against his loving parents, who needless to say are absolutely heartbroken. They want nothing more than to be able to relate with their son again they way they always used to, which is just not possible any longer due to the isolating grip of ISKCON.

We are going to notify Dr. W. Kent Fuchs, the President of UF and the Board of Trustees, in addition to all relevant lawmakers in an effort to stop what we believe are high-control groups from operating on school grounds where vulnerable and impressionable young students are easily accessible to them.

Please help support our mission to expose and eradicate these groups from college campuses everywhere by sharing our expose with everyone you know, but especially parents and students.
Tomorrow's posting will include the President of F.A.C.T., Tibor Stern's phone conversation with Carl Woodham and also what we believe is hard evidence of Woodham’s recruitment efforts of vulnerable students to the Hare Krishna / ISKCON organization.
